Down in Devon visiting our good friends Jaffa, aka the
Cream Tea Birder, and Helen, aka the Cream Tea Bird. A circular walk around Jaffa's patch, the Otter Estuary, and eastwards along the coast path returning via Otterton, produced very few birds in a strong south-westerly, with 2 Peregrine, 1 Manx Shearwater and 3 Northern Gannet moving west offshore, and 6 Shelduck on the Otter.
1 Red-headed Cardinal Beetle
Pyrochroa serraticornis, 1m Thick-legged Flower-beetle
Oedemera nobilis and 1 Painted Lady
Vanessa cardui were noted, and lots of common wild flowers.
